Republicans Are Upset That Martin O'Malley Cited Actual Science On Climate Change And Conflict!!!! [View all]

I LOVE it!!!

The candidate links climate change to Syrian conflict. Republicans deem it "absurd."

And conservative media outlets are apparently really mad that reporters, including me, haven't covered O'Malley's comments. But here I am, covering them.

The thing is, O'Malley's comments reflect actual scientific findings published earlier this year in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
